  • Kids Planet Halton, Leeds
A purpose-built nursery offering a stimulating learning environment for babies and children up to the age of five years.

The team of friendly, highly qualified staff aims to support parents in the care and education of their children while following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), enabling children to build positive relationships and progress as individuals in a supportive environment.

Children are cared for in developmental and age-appropriate rooms for babies, infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. Staff wait for children to reach certain developmental milestones before moving them through the rooms, rather than doing so according to age.

Both my boys go to Sunbeams Halton and both are very settled and love their time at Nursery after the usual settling in issues. They each love their key workers and all the staff which makes me feel more comfortable leaving them for such long days without mummy or daddy. Their progress is lovely to
see and they learn so many new things daily. All the extra events and charity days are nice to be involved in too. I would highly recommend Halton and its staff to anyone.

I’m super happy with Sunbeams, they’ve been great with both my children and I feel treat them as family. My little boy is so excited to go and is coming on leaps and bounds. Such caring staff and easy to communicate with. They also cater to complex allergy needs and have supported me and my children
throughout. Can’t recommend more highly.

My daughter started at Sunbeams when she was 9 months old and has gone from baby room to pre-school. She absolutely loves it and all the staff. They are all so lovely and extremely friendly. My daughter has grown so much during her time there and is developing so much everyday and it is down to the
wonderful staff at this nursery.


I feel so happy going to work knowing she is safe and happy.

I love this nursery. My son has been going here for 2 years now and he loves it, not to say he's come on really well and is 6 months ahead of his age with makes me really proud. I have recommended my friends and family here now their children go there. I just wish I would of known of this nursery 7
years ago as my old council nursery which I paid a lot every month for them to fail my daughter, so I took them both out when my son was 8 months old. When he was 2 I found out about this nursery and how good it is so I got in touch they welcomed me and my son and make him feel so happy there. The workers are brilliant as at first it took a while to settle but they knew why he wouldn't settle as he wanted one particular worker, so she changed the worker so he would feel more comfortable and now he loves going to nursery and loves everything about this place. I would not say a bad word bout this place will go out there way to make your child develop xx xx

I literally can not rate this nursery highly enough. There are no words to describe the ladies and gentleman that work at this nursery. My daughter has now been going for over 2 years and she adores every one of you. There is just fun and laughter every time you walk in the room. She has made some amazing
friends who she will treasure forever this includes the staff.
Everyone from the cleaner to the management are just so friendly and I could not ask for a better group of people to take care of the most important person in my world... thank you from the bottom of my heart

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old and am sad to say she will be leaving to go to Primary School in September.


The staff are lovely, the facilities are fantastic and wow, a private chef with a nutritious menu that changes on a monthly cycle.


Most importantly though,

I am always bowled over by the things that she comes home and tells me about, the things that she has learnt. It's great to know your child is being well looked after but its amazing to know that she is thriving in a fantastic learning environment too.


As a little girl who knows her own mind (very well), if she didn't enjoy it, she would not hesitate to make sure I knew and why, Sunbeams most certainly gets the thumbs up from her too!

My little boy has attended sunbeams for the last 15 months he is now is the preschool room. He absolutely loves going, he runs in, in the morning without any fuss all the staff are so friendly and approachable. Would highly recommend it. My other 2 older children also attended Sunbeams from being 6
months old till starting school and both had excellent experiences there. Can’t fault them in anyway, great team.

My child really enjoys nursery, although he does have some separation issues with me on a morning, the staff at Sunbeams are always extremely patient with him.
His social and communicational development have really come on.
Thank you, everyone, at Sunbeams.

My daughter goes to Halton sunbeams and I have to say that it is an absolutely amazing nursery. She has come on leaps and bounds since being there. She started in the baby room and is now in preschool. All the staff know all the children's names and you really feel the personal touch when there. Such
a friendly and warm environment and it definitely gets her seal of approval as she loves going there! Would recommend without hesitation to any of my family and friends!

My one year old son started nursery full time in September and he absolutely loves it. He is developing so well and learning so many things which is down to the ladies who work here. All the staff are polite and very welcoming and even when they don't work with my son they all know his name. It's a
brilliant environment for all children and they make it easier for me to leave him knowing that he is enjoying him days there and is in safe hands. I couldn't have picked a better nursery for him. Thank you.

The girls put you at ease straight away. They are professional and you can tell they love children. Our little boy runs into the nursery and always seems so happy there. We have had no issues and it's made the transition to being full time working parents easier.

My daughter was cared for by the staff at Sunbeams in Halton from the age of 10 months until she started school this year. She loved everyday and always came home with lots of stories or pictures from her day. It is only since she started in school that I have really been able to appreciate how much
she was learning whilst also having fun. Despite being one of the youngest in her class, the foundation that Sunbeams gave her is helping her thrive! We all miss the friendly pick ups and drop offs and I am very grateful for the friendly flexibility they offered to me whilst also juggling an older child and work commitments.

We have been so thrilled with the care that our daughter has received at Sunbeams. The fact that she is always eager to go is a testament in itself. Any issues we have had have been dealt with promptly and to a very high standard, they take the individual needs of the child and family very seriously.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Kids Planet Halton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.897 for Kids Planet Halton is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.897

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Halton is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I have worked at Halton since 2013 and progressed in my career from Senior Nursery Nurse to Nursery Manager.
I am married with 2 boys age 4 and 9 who both attended Halton.
My favourite part about the job is developing a strong staff team through meeting the staffs professional training needs and making staff well being a priority.
